That is because official statistics use penetration as the definition of rape. "Forced envelopment" (women raping men) is not counted as rape.

It has nothing to do with being dynamic, it is about names. The article insists that you need to be able to grep for the identifier, but you don't have the identifier. So you have to grep for the function you are in, find all the pla

But that's wrong. You don't need anything else, S3 is for serving, and they deliberately added support and documentation for exactly this use case: hosting static websites.

"Work smarter not harder" is a false dichotomy. Someone working hard and smart is going to accomplish more than someone just working smart. And equating "working hard" with "putting in empty meaningless long hours

Nothing you said contradicts the previous poster though. Germans do value hard work. You are inexplicably interpreting "hard work" to mean "long hours". Hard work is working hard, it is entirely orthogonal to how long

This is a cool visualization, but the data it is working from is pretty poor. A lot of the "influenced"s and "influenced by"s are pretty sketchy, and some are just plain nonsense. Also categorizing the languages is pre

So, I have to be cool with having terrible reliability, no durability, no services I rely on (SQS, S3, EBS), increased latency for my users (our userbase is 99% north american), and extended downtimes anytime anything goes wrong with hardw

Same here. These "amazon is so expensive and so slow" posts show up here constantly, and every time I try to get information on alternatives, and nobody has anything. A single dedicated server running in some warehouse is not a

You should definitely assume it is none then and blame sexism for her project being rejected. That makes perfect sense.

You are trolling right? There is no evidence to support the claims made about TDD (that it helps in any way). The claim that it helps has been falsified, by people doing TDD and non-TDD and there being no difference. These things are in

Your reply contains nothing of substance, and very little that is even of relevance.

If you've read it, why do I need to re-show it to you? There is no evidence that TDD provides any benefit. There is evidence that testing provides benefits. TDD salesmen offer studies showing the benefits of testing as proof that TD

by papsosouid 13y ago
TDD has no benefits, that is why the confusion is such an issue. People keep pretending the benefits of testing are benefits of TDD, when TDD is entirely unnecessary.

by papsosouid 13y ago
Your article confuses the two constantly. You can't use TDD without using unit tests, TDD is a way of using unit tests. You can use unit tests without TDD. Most of what you talked about had nothing to do with TDD and was just about

300k reads, which is approaching trivial. You can do that with an array of desktop SSDs. But in reality, it would be almost all in RAM anyways making those reads incredibly cheap.

We're not talking about cars. We're talking about computers. 8TB of RAM is 8TB of RAM, it doesn't get better by spreading it across a thousand servers. 4096 CPU cores are 4096 CPU cores, they don't get better by sprea

The whole point is you can get equal performance from a single server instead of a ton of little ones. The ton of little ones forced them to totally re-architect to work around the massive latency between servers. A single server would ha

No, you buy another 2 servers at the same price, because performance continues to increase incredibly quickly, and what you got $200,000 2 years ago is now half the speed of what $200,000 gets you. >When they scale horizontally across th
